  2. Your build is survivability oriented. With some damage and tons of HP and defense.
  3. You auto attack a lot.

How to play

General

  1. As Katarina playing Bruiser build - you need ot adapt to an enemy team and to the game! Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. Are they heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  2. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Champion

  1. Katarina can have great engages too! Buy Randuin's Omen, Shunpo (E) into an enemy team and use active for heavy AoE slow!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can elevate your Katarina play just by not looking at the Daggers, but facing away, then using Shunpo (E) to them.

Riot

  1. Picking up Daggers will significantly reduce Shunpo's cooldown.
  2. Try waiting until the other team is distracted with fighting your team, and use Shunpo to teleport into the fray and unleash a devastating Death Lotus.
  3. Using Shunpo on an allied Champion, Dagger, or minion can be a great escape tactic.
